Using custom InstrumentationTestRunner in Eclipse causes Error

android, unit-testing

Solution

Add both instrumentation in your AndroidManifest.xml.

<instrumentation
    android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
    android:targetPackage="com.example.myapp" />

<instrumentation
    android:name=".MyRunner"
    android:targetPackage="com.example.myapp" />

Then go to Package explorer --> $(Your Test Prject$) --> Run As --> Run configurations --> Android JUnit Test --> $(Your Test Project) --> Instrumentation Runner and select your runner there.

Problem

I have a seperate Test Project in Eclipse that has been running successfully for a while in both command line and Eclipse. While using Jenkins to run my tests, I've run into the issue where the standard InstrumentationTestRunner does not output in a Jenkins supported xml format. I've read on the internet to use a custom InstrumentationTestRunner. This works in the command line using ADB, but fails in Eclipse when running as Android Test Case. I've downloaded a custom instrumentation test runner (com.neenbedankt.android.test) and added it to the AndroidManifest like this: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.testedapplication.test" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> <instrumentation android:name="com.neenbedankt.android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner" android:targetPackage="com.testedapplication" /> <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" > <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" /> </application> </manifest> ``` Here is the error that I get in Eclipse: [Test Project] is not configured correctly for running tests: A targetPackage attribute for instrumentation android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner in its AndroidManifest.xml could not be found! You can see that i've set the targetPackage there, so I'm not sure what else I can do?
